To hear that you've recovered to the point of riding your bike is incredible.


Richard.
I remember those emails from then and they were also inspiration at the time I needed inspiration. Drs at Mayo clinins said most likely I would never walk again or be able to practice veterinary medicine as my hands were also affected. I have been back to work as a vet for 5 years doing surgery and medicine. I do use a walker to go into exams as my legs get tired after awhile, but I am walking and practicing medicine. Positive outlook every day and a can do attitude get you a long way. Every day is a blessing.
